Bucks-Pistons-Raptors II

This is pointless I know, but I love doing it....Remember that you did not need to read it before you go on about how this will not happen....Please comment on the fairness and reasonableness of the idea...

Toronto Trades: DeMar DeRozan (4 years on deal, 2013-14 = 9.5 million), Kyle Lowry (1 year on deal, 2013-14 = 6.21 million) and Rudy Gay (2 years with a player option next season, 2013-14 salary = 17.89 million)

Toronto Gets: Epke Udoh (1 year on deal, 2013-14 salary = 4.47 million), Gustavo Ayon (1 year on deal, 2013-14 salary = 1.5 million), Brandon Knight (2 years on deal, 2013-14 salary = 2.95 million), Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (rookie deal, 2013-14 = approximately 2.2 million), EITHER Stuckey (1 year on deal, 2013 salary = 8.5 million) OR Charlie Villanueva (1 year on deal, 2013 salary = 8.58 million), and Milwaukee Bucks 2014 First Round Pick

Detroit Trades: Brandon Knight (2 years on deal, 2013-14 = 2.95 million), Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (rookie deal, 2013-14 = approximately 2.2 million), and EITHER Stuckey (1 year on deal, 2013 salary = 8.5 million) OR Charlie Villanueva (1 year on deal, 2013 salary = 8.58 million)

Detroit Receives: DeMar DeRozan (4 years on deal, 2013-14 salary = 9.5 million) and Brandon Jennings (Sign and Trade works from approximately 6-7 million to start )

Milwaukee Trades: Drew Gooden (2 years on deal, 2013-14 = 6.68 million) and Brandon Jennings (Sign and Trade works from approximately 6-7million to start)

Milwaukee Receives: Kyle Lowry (1 year on deal, 2013-14 salary = 6.21 million) and Rudy Gay (2 years with a player option next season, 2013-14 salary = 17.89 million)

Toronto gets young prospects and a first round pick. They also would be much worse in the short-term. Therefore, increasing their chances at a top 3 pick in the upcoming draft.

Detroit seems to want to win now. Jennings, DeRozan, Josh Smith, Monroe, Drummond would be competitive in this year's EAST.

Milwaukee is the wild card here, but it seems likely that they are not too interested in Jennings after not trying to sign him and after trying to sign Teague instead. It also seems likely that this would leave him upset and wanting to leave. Lowry seems more injury prone than Jennings, but when healthy is the better all around player. This would help them compete now. Rudy Gay definitely would help them win now. Lowry, mayo, gay, Illyasova and Sanders is a nice line up with Delfino, Ridnour, Hensen and Zaza backing up would be very solid...After amnesty isn't Gooden, they have the money to take these guys on....
